[FFmpeg-user] Trouble with LPCM audio from D-VHS deck

[Mike Brown]

On to the next issue.

I have a D-VHS deck that will firewire the analog video to MPEG-2 video
conversion to my computer, via TSReader.  Within the mux is a MPEG audio
stream and a LPCM audio stream.

The authors of the VideReDo program attempted to convert the LPCM audio to
a WAV file, but it was extremely distorted.

Now that I have an up-to-date ffmpeg, I ran the stream through it and got:

I find it hard to believe that the D-VHS deck created a LPCM file and put
nothing in it.  It also doesn't make any sense that it thinks that it is an
AAC formated audio file.

A five second sample of the file is available at:

I'd appreciate someone else looking at this file.

Thanks.
